HARTFORD, Conn. (CBSNewYork/AP) –Gov. Dannel Malloy is outlining a plan which will allow liquor and beer to be sold on Sundays in Connecticut and extend sale hours at stores, bars and restaurants to 10 p.m.

“I’m certainly hoping that it will be successful. It will allow the state to recover hundreds of millions of dollars in sales that we’re currently losing; obviously having a good impact on employment,” he said.

Malloy calls it a simple issue of competition, with residents near Connecticut’s borders heading into New York, Massachusetts or Rhode Island to buy alcohol.
